This is an application of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction of a new mixed-use project. The addresses are 191 Northeast 45th Street, 4510 Northeast 2nd Avenue. This item is related to HEPB Resolution 2014-022, a resolution approving with conditions an application for the demolition of multiple structures at 4510 Northeast 2nd Avenue and 191 Northeast 45th Street. The Buena Vista East Historic District designation report states the following: "The neighborhood has retained its distinct character, with the majority of postwar buildings being small, single-family residences designed to conform with, rather than detract from the historic and cohesive architectural fabric. The few intrusions within the district are restricted to small-scale apartment buildings and modest single-family dwellings." MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

Typical alterations consist of the installation of contemporary windows, doors, roofing and awnings or the enclosure of porches and additions of garages or porte cocheres. However, despite these alterations, the integrity of the historic fabric and its character is still preserved." When reviewing proposals for new construction, criteria such as design, massing, materials, fenestration and other important factors must be carefully considered. The Preservation Office believes that development of these parcels must be done using the designation report's concern for appropriate scale, compatible materials and other design issues that will impact the character of the district.

The applicant has provided plans for the reuse of the property, should the demolition be carried out. The Preservation Office first had contact with this applicant in March, when the owner came in to pull a demolition permit. Staff explained the process for applying for a demolition permit for structures located within the historic district. A meeting was held with the applicant and his representatives on April 7, 2014, at which time staff expressed concern for the scale and compatibility of the MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

These plans were reviewed by the HEP Board at the May 6, 2014 meeting, and the Board moved that the item be continued so that the applicant could have more time to work with staff and other stakeholders to make the proposed design more appropriate for its context. Staff met with the applicant and his team again on May 9, 2014, to reconsider revisions to the proposed design. Issues of scale, height and materials were all discussed, keeping in mind the comments made at the May 6th HEP Board meeting. It is staff's understanding that the applicant and his team also sought input from members of the community. Staff finds the revised proposal to be a significant improvement over the previous application. The height of the building has been reduced and the trellis feature has been reconfigured, resulting in a noticeable change to the perceived scale.

This restores a sense of privacy to the residential spaces facing Northeast 2nd Avenue, which is more typical of older, mixed-use properties. The changes to some of the finishes and colors give the overall project a warmer feel, an improvement from the previous proposal, which staff found to be too cold and metallic. These changes help the design relate more successfully to the historic district's predominantly residential character. The Preservation Office, in accordance with the Secretary of Interior's Standards and the City of Miami Design Guidelines for Historic Resources recommends that the application for a Special Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction of new, mixed-use project, located within the Buena Vista East Historic District be approved with MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

I would like to reiterate that the application is now been going through the process for over three months. In addition to the meetings that Megan referenced, we did have a meeting -- my client rather, had a meeting, together with the architect Kobi Karp that's with us today, as are the owners of the property, Harry Benitah and Mark Suraqui, who are here, and they have met with some members of the Buena Vista historic district on May 12, at Kobi Karp's office, and took into consideration many of their comments. What you have I think is essentially a very softened architectural statement, one that is more in keeping with the type of buildings and the scale of buildings that predominate 2nd Avenue in this area. And I think that the changes are really significant, particularly the upper level trellis, the setback, it's barely appreciable now from the sidewalk. The MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

It's a little bit more almost suburban in character. And overall the project I think really works. It continues to provide a significant amount of parking for this area, that the area desperately needs. A problem that pervades all of our commercial corridors outside of downtown is the lack of parking. Many of these buildings are nonconforming. The ones that we're trying to emulate are nonconforming. This one has the benefit of looking like that, but also providing the required amount of parking so that you don't have the spillover of parking into the residential neighborhoods, which is always a problem and source of complaint from neighbors. So with that said, I'd like to ask Kobi to come up and go through some of the changes in more detail with you. Thank you. MR. KARP: Hi, good afternoon. My MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

But, basically it is a sample material board, which on it is the aluminum sample that we're looking for the trellis work to do. The comments that we had last time, and we also met with the neighbors at our offices, they were very, very kind to come over. And what we did, is we did reduce the height of the building. We pushed back the trellis work on top. And we brought back this lattice work, which is reminiscent of the material that is onsite, yes, which is reminiscent of the pre -cast, which is onsite in the neighborhood.

I live at 101 6 Northeast 43rd Street. 7 And I met with the two past -- well, 8 the current president of the Buena Vista 9 East Historic Neighborhood Association, 10 Schiller Jerome, and the past president, 11 Rich Raimann, and myself. We all did meet 12 with the applicant and Mr. Karp on May 13 12th. And we issued our response on the 14 19th. 15 At -the time of the meeting, we were 16 -- when we sat down and we were working 17 with the original plans, we were told that 18 they were willing to make tweaks to the 19 original design. We had hoped, after the 20 initial meeting, that there would be sort 21 of a broader reworking of the proposal, 22 because we felt that the Board was pretty 23 -- was looking for something a little bit 24 more dramatic in terms of our review. And 25 we were also hoping for a more broad MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

So we made it clear that we were concerned that the minor tweaks, sort of around the edges, might not be enough really to make it an appropriate project. That being said, we offered specific commentary about the elements of the original proposal that were most concerning to us, which were the height, you know, too much glass, the materials that we felt were inappropriate. We were asked to make alternate suggestions. That being said, we're not architects, so we're not really qualified to do a lot of that, but certainly we commented on some of the concerns we had. A lot of these concerns overlapped with the concerns expressed by the historic preservation officer, but we did -- we do remain very concerned about the 45th Street entrance. The existing -- the existing lots only have a single curb cut, and that's only on the property that faces Northeast 2nd Avenue. The corner property, the 191 Northeast 45th Street, it was originally a MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC. (305) 373-5600 MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

We do have a 4 concern that it does -- it will pull more 5 traffic into the neighborhood, so that is 6 a concern that we continue to have. 7 We're also concerned about the 8 setback. There is no 10 -foot setback at 9 the front, which is required by Miami 21, 10 and that still has not really been 11 addressed at all. 12 So, overall, we still don't feel that • 13 we can support the revised proposal. For 14 those reasons, we feel that -- we 15 certainly see that some of the changes 16 that we have been -- that we mentioned 17 have been made, but, again, we do feel 18 that it was essentially small changes to 19 an inappropriate project. So that is our 20 position. 21 We also want the Board to be aware 22 that even though you all raised and we've 23 raised concerns about the condition of the 24 property, not a single thing was done in 25 the last month to secure the property or • MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

So that's really disappointing that we had to look at it for another month. Even as we go through this process, you know, the only thing that happened was that the scrap metal was stolen off the property. So wherever those thieves are, thank you, but, I mean, that's disappointing. So thank you very much for your time. CHAIRMAN HOPPER: Thank you. Is there anyone else from the public wishing to speak on this item? If not, I'll close the public hearing and open it up to the Board for questions or comments. MR. FERNANDEZ: Dr. Hopper, may I just have a couple of words in response to that? CHAIRMAN HOPPER: Sure. MR. FERNANDEZ: Thank you. I just want to state that with respect to whether or not the changes were broad, I think that Wendy mentioned three different topics: The height, the glass and the style of the building. All three MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC. (305) 373-5600 • • • Submitted into the public Record for item(s) PZ. 3 on 10/9/2014, City Clerk 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 17 of those elements have been changed. The reduction from 40 to 36 feet is significant, given that this is a relatively low intensity transect, T4; the amount of glass has been reduced and designed in a different way to be less apparent; the style of the building and the colors have changed. I think that the approach is a rather broad brush change. With respect to the entrance on 45th Street, this is a requirement of Miami 21. This is not something that is negotiable or something that we can address. It is required that when you have two frontages, a principal front and a secondary front, that the access to the property be from the secondary front. The purpose of this is to encourage additional and to not interrupt existing pedestrian activity on the avenue. And that's exactly what we're trying to do through this project. The last issue mentioned is whether or not this entrance will draw additional traffic into the neighborhood. I would submit to the Board that this entrance is MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

And, in fact, what it will do is reduce vehicular impacts in the neighborhood by allowing cars to enter into the underground parking area immediately, instead of turning into the residential neighborhood and looking for on -street parking in front of people's homes. People will know how to get to this site. They won't be driving around City blocks searching for parking. And the consolidation of one entrance into -- of two separate entrances for two different lots into one location that's readily accessible off the avenue is preferable method of access. So that's all I'd like to say. Thank SIA CHAIRMAN HOPPER: Thanks. I'll open up to the Board for questions, comments? BOARD MEMBER LEWIS: Mr. Chairman. CHAIRMAN HOPPER: Yes, Ms. Lewis. BOARD MEMBER LEWIS: Mr. Fernandez, what's your front -- it looks to me as if MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC. (305) 373-5600 MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

KARP: Yes, let me just -- which 5 page are you on? 6 BOARD MEMBER LEWIS: I'm on A-2.00. 7 I'm own your site plan. 8 MR. KARP: Yes, along 2nd, where the 9 required is 10, and we have basically 10 matched the existing property immediately 11 adjacent to us and held it back at zero. 12 BOARD MEMBER LEWIS: So you have no • 13 setback? 14 MR. FERNANDEZ: Well, correct. And 15 the reason for that is that Miami 21 has a 16 required setback, but it also contains a 17 provision that allows a developer to 18 establish the predominant setback in a 19 neighborhood. So given that other 20 buildings along this block and in this 21 area are developed at this zero setback, 22 that's the way that we developed this 23 project. And that's not a change. That 24 was something that was in the initial plan 25 that was submitted to the Board and that MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC. (305) 373-5600 MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC. (305) 373-5600 Submitted into the public Record for item(s) PZ. 3 on 10/9/2014, City Clerk 20 1 you all reviewed the first time. 2 BOARD MEMBER LEWIS: The fact that 3 you're matching the frontage of property 4 to the north certainly makes sense to me, 5 but the neighbors or the neighborhood 6 association is not keen on that. And I 7 wondered whether -- 8 MR. KARP: Let me just -- 9 BOARD MEMBER LEWIS: What explanation 10 had you given them. 11 MR. KARP: There's two. There's two. 12 Number 1 is, we meet the setbacks on 45th i13 and everywhere else. And also you can see 14 in the design, specifically on page A-2, 15 what we did is we maximized the setback to 16 the west. And so by being able to pull 17 the building, if you will, more towards 18 2nd to match the line of the neighboring 19 buildings, we were able to also provide 20 substantially more setback on our west 21 side, which is also kind of nice, because 22 the west rear, if you will, where we do 23 have a two-story apartment building right 24 immediately adjacent to us, the required 25 setback, if the rear or west is five feet, is MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

(305) 373-5600 Submitted into the public Record for item(s) PZ. 3 on 10/9/2014, City Clerk 21 1 and we were able to provide 20 feet. 2 And, again, we did that, and we felt 3 that by the improvements that are coming 4 to the public right-of-way -- and we met 5 with the neighbors and the neighbors -- we 6 went through the plans in detail, and we 7 discussed this. And obviously what would 8 happen here is on Northeast 2nd, is that 9 you would have an opportunity to basically 10 match the commercial line, which exists 11 not only to the north adjacent property, 12 but also when you cross the street and you 13 go further north to the next block, you 14 have the same condition. So that creates 15 more of a pedestrian friendly, sort of an 16 ambiance along the east elevation, which 17 is Northeast 2nd Avenue. 18 Which is also when we met with the 19 neighbors and when we were here in front 20 of you, they asked us to lower the 21 commercial to match, that seemed to all 22 work pretty good. So those were the two 23 factors on the setback. 24 BOARD MEMBER LEWIS: It also seems to 25 me that you're looking for a waiver with MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

And if you were not to ask for that, I don't think you would even acquire adequate frontage multiplied by 10 feet. I think you'd still be over the 10% waiver that you're seeking. So, again, under just under the spirit of communication, that makes sense to me. What did you take away from your meeting with the neighbors, when they continued to object to the fact that there is no front setback on 2nd Avenue? MR. KARP: When we met in my office with Wendy and the other two gentlemen, and they came through, they felt that, you know, the bulkhead and matching the facades was more important than to provide that setback. I mean, that is really what we got from it. We also feel that there's a broad sidewalk coming on 2nd with the improvements. So there's an opportunity for the public right-of-way to be treated properly. So we felt pushing it in 5 MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

We did, though, introduce the bulkhead. We did, though, reduce the height. We did, though, if you remember the signage, we moved it down. Everything else was talked about was implemented. And I personally feel, as the architect for the project, that it's important to hold that line. I think it's important to hold a commercial line as it exists right now and to the adjacent properties.

And what I was looking for was for someone to, in fact, look at the character of the buildings in the historic neighborhood, and to begin to take to this facade and take to this building some of that character, okay? I mean, the immediate thing that you could say is that there's probably no building in the historic -- in at least that neighborhood context that has as much glass as this building has, okay? The majority of those facades tend to not be glass. They tend to be boxes with windows. I know you've said that you've reduced the amount of glass.

FERNANDEZ: Well -- 6 BOARD MEMBER MARSTON: But if that, 7 in fact, goes through, then all of that 8 traffic is, in fact, going through the 9 neighborhood and entering the project. I 10 don't think that there's a way that you 11 could solve that, okay, but I think that's 12 a fair consideration that we ought to 13 make. 14 The third thing that I'm a little 15 perplexed about, okay, was that we've 16 heard that there is now a broad pedestrian 17 sidewalk proposed for Northeast 2nd 18 Avenue. And if I'm looking at your plan, 19 A-2.00, I see a very minimal sidewalk. 20 And I'm going to say it's maybe five feet. 21 That, by definition, is not a broad 22 pedestrian sidewalk making a friendly -- a 23 pedestrian -friendly road. Am I misreading 24 a plan? Is that a broad sidewalk? 25 MR. KARP: There's a couple of MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

And according to our discussions, there is a proposed improvement on Northeast 2nd, which is coming up. And, again, just to tie back to some of the images that we had in the last presentation, that we had the photos of the neighboring buildings -- and if you want me to, I'll be more than happy to go through the metal work and the design. And, you know, many of the residences in the neighborhood, which have the high ceilings, just simply due to the reason that there was cross -ventilation in those structures and so that the hot air, up in the air, would flow through the space. So there are a lot of examples of that. MR. FERNANDEZ: And if I may add to, Kobi, to that, Mr. Marston, it's my understanding that the 10 -foot sidewalk is something that is in the works.

So the sidewalk, when it is expanded, will be expanded to the east from the existing sidewalk into what is the swale area. As we all know, that street is in terrible condition all the way north out of the Design District. I mean, it's probably one of the worst streets in the City of Miami to drive. So those improvements will happen. And, in fact, I think they justify and bolster the front setback that we're providing. With respect to your question concerning the direction of the traffic, we've spoken to public works. I'm aware of no such plan to redirect streets. I know that there are many neighborhoods in the City of Miami that would appreciate that kind of change. It's been discussed as a remedy citywide to address traffic and cut -through traffic. I have yet to see it be implemented, and I've seen it talked about for years, but I will say to MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

So you could, in effect, have a two-way condition for a very short sort of dead-end stump, so to speak, T -turn around, and then have a one-way condition through the neighborhood coming out. I think that would be a real ideal situation that we would all favor. BOARD MEMBER MARSTON: Okay. I have one further comment, was that I'm a little concerned about the mural and the fact that it's a blank at the moment. MR. KARP: Yeah.

MR. KARP: And, again, just to bring this to your attention, 'cause we discussed it last time, it's on Image 6108, right here, there are similar buildings in context in the neighborhood, which do have, if you will, a more contemporary fashion, because the neighborhood, from what I have seen and I think we all agree, is made of -- whether it's streamline or whether it's Mediterranean revival, there are projects and buildings, which have been built over the past 50, 60 years, which are a reflection of the time. And what we are trying to do is -- and, again, you know, you can see to this building right here next door, it has the commercial and then it has the punched windows on top. What we are trying to do is, you can -- we discussed it in the last meeting, is that we felt that if we can MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.

I don't have a problem with that. I feel that we did take the intent and the desire, while at the same time trying to come up -- because all it is, is a two-story residential. And our floors I think are 10 feet high. There are single-family residential adjacent to us, which are 12 and 14 feet high. And, again, because due to close ventilation of the historic homes. We are looking at in that case of a sense. And I think what we're saying is that, if we can eliminate this height right here, that's Number 1. We can eliminate the height from floor to floor for the residential and the commercial, which is we brought down four feet, which is 10% of the overall building height. You know, so I feel we have taken 10% of the height, plus elimination of the features. And then when we met with the MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC.
